Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 710 I'm Back
Chen Changsheng took out a map that looked very old.

The map is made of unknown leather, not the skin of livestock such as cattle and sheep, or beasts such as crocodiles and lizards. The surface texture is very delicate, and the color is close to light blue.

Chen Yan looked at it for the first time, and an idea immediately appeared in his head: If this map is not light blue, it looks like it was soaked in formalin solution in the laboratory...

"Here is the record of where you need to go."

Chen Changsheng's words interrupted Chen Yan's frightening imagination.

"As for the thing you need to find, it is [When you see that thing, you will know it is your goal]."

What a weird request...

Chen Yan took the map, and saw a large flat area on the map. There were no mountains, no ravines, and no height difference marked. There was only a vast...sea area!
This is a chart.

Chen Yan found traces similar to cities in the lower right corner of the chart, and on the traces of cities, small and indistinct handwriting like mosquitoes:

"Rhodeland..."

That is the name of the empire that has been almost forgotten by the world.

The vast empire only occupies a small corner of this chart, and it does not exceed one percent of the entire chart. A route extends from the position of the empire on the chart, spreading from the lower right corner to the upper left corner of the chart.

There are many islands connected on the route, and most of those islands are small. There are no continents or subcontinents. There are island groups, but there are only a handful of large-scale island groups.

Around these island groups, there are extremely dense vortices distributed. These vortexes vary in size and are marked with numbers representing certain meanings, which Chen Yan can't understand.

And the upper left corner of the chart, which is also the end of the route, is covered by a fog like thing, and nothing can be seen in it.

"The islands on the route are all colonies of the empire. As long as you follow the route and pass through these colonies, you can reach the end."

Chen Yan pointed to the fog on the chart:

"What's in here?"

Chen Changsheng replied:
"In the legend, this is the origin of everything, the promised land of all wishes of all people in the world, and the ultimate answer to all problems in the world."

Chen Yan scolded, and then said:

"You want me to go to this place, you have to provide me with supplies, at least ships, supplies and sailors?"

Chen Changsheng said:
"That's your business."

After he finished speaking, he turned on the phone, clicked on the countdown, and showed it to Chen Yan:
"From now on, you still have 24 hours to prepare. After 24 hours, if you haven't set off yet, I will help you set off."

"When you get that thing back, you will have your right to live in normal society again."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator without looking back.

Chen Yan felt a little irritable, and turned to look at Ogami:

"I don't have a choice?"

Ohgami has obviously thought about this matter seriously:

"If you don't care so much about how you live, you have options."

Chen Yan obviously understood what he meant—if he wanted to live in the game they set the rules for, he had to act according to the rules they set.

They have now formulated the rule that "Chen Yan must be exiled and can only return to normal society after atonement", and Chen Yan must act in accordance with this rule in order to survive in normal society.

Endorsed by the rules they make are irresistible violence and sanctions from the entire society.

Ohgami can protect him for a while, but he can't stay by his side forever. He has to find a way to protect himself, and the easiest way is to fulfill William Adams' request, go to the end of the world, and get that shit The "you know what it is when you see it" bullshit.

Chen Yan can't change the social rules they made, because individual power can't change the laws of the social cycle.

In the past week, he has verified this with practical actions—even with powerful ideological weapons, the marchers still cannot take back most of the power that should belong to them, because they cannot defy the laws of social operation— Without enlightenment of thought, it is impossible for people to know what they deserve.

And ideological enlightenment is a long process, including the development of culture and the emergence, dissemination and acceptance of free will; the emergence of system theory; the revelation and induction of social events... In the world of Chen Yan's previous life, this process From scratch, it took nearly 400 years.

Even if Chen Yan could move all the knowledge about ideological enlightenment in Binglan's memory fragments to this world and spread them all on the Internet, it would be impossible for people to accept so much knowledge all at once—how could people learn from empty indirect experience? Did you get lessons and enlightenment from it?
Whenever Chen Yan thinks of this, the whole person will feel a deep powerlessness.

All historical processes are proceeding in an orderly manner, independent of human subjective consciousness.

As a small individual, Chen Yan may be able to assist the whole process to a certain extent, but he cannot change any key point.

What should happen is bound to happen, and no one can stop it.

What should not happen will not appear immediately anyway, and no one can change the situation in the slightest.

The demise of the old rules was a long process, in which countless human efforts and inevitable bloodshed had to be passed.

Before the old rules die out, everyone must live under such rules and be controlled by such rules.

Chen Yan was silent for a while, then said:
"Let's go back... There's still a lot to do before we leave."

Ohgami nodded:
"The shuttle mining machine is downstairs."

After the two finished speaking, they walked towards the first floor of the prison.

……

……

At 1 o'clock in the evening, the corridor on the east side of the Central Park in Yanan City was brightly lit.

Even though it was late at night, the marchers still didn't feel tired. They were eager to return to their homes in the downtown area. Even though there was only a wooden bed in the house and there was even air leakage everywhere, the hope brought about by the negotiations made them feel uneasy. Feeling desperate for such a living situation.

The negotiation is successful, and I can continue to work tomorrow. Good days are ahead!

Chen Yan followed the sight of the crowd all the way. Although he couldn't see how far Walker Street was because of the darkness, he was still very excited.

Although the more than a week of depression in the prison was not too difficult, once he was sure that he would never leave that place, Chen Yan felt a sense of "freedom" that swelled to an extent that could not be ignored.

'It's so late, Ogami should have brought my body back, as long as I get home, I will be back to normal. '

He felt a little uneasy.

"I don't know what the William Adams Group's attitude towards me is, and I don't know what Chen Changsheng wants from me. I always feel that he has another purpose..."

While waiting anxiously, Chen Yan followed the crowd all the way to Walker Street. After entering Walker Street, he counted the house numbers one by one and continued to move forward. When he saw his house [No. 33], Chen Yan almost lost his mind. collapse.

"So I'm such a fragile person..."

He looked around, and after confirming the small shadow creatures entrenched around No. 33 Walker Street, he left the bodies of the marchers and entered the apartment as fast as he could.

Entering the door is the hall. At this time, the hall is dark, and there are no lights upstairs.

The same as what I saw in the House before, the shadowy creatures with eyes all over their bodies only exist outside the house, and those things will not come in when there are people in the house.

When Chen Yan came to the kitchen, he saw a faint light coming from the direction leading to the basement.

'They're in the basement... yes, they must be waiting for Ohgami to come back with my body in the shuttle! '

Chen Yan then came to the second floor of the basement, and at a glance, he saw Jack Baldo and a group of partners. They were waiting on the "dock" carried by the nautilus shell, as if they were waiting anxiously.

'Ogami has not returned with my body. '

Looking at his anxious companions, Chen Yan became less anxious. He waited patiently with them until the humming sound of the engine came from the underground cave passage bordering the pier, and until the shadow of the shuttle mining machine appeared in the next moment. Appear in front of everyone.

With the exhaust sound of the air pressure valve, the cockpit of the shuttle mining machine opened, Ogami walked out from it, and Chen Yan greeted him happily.

But the next moment, he looked at the person behind Ogami, his whole consciousness was struck by lightning, and his thinking froze like death.

Behind Ogami, a complete Chen Yan, who was exactly like him, came out and greeted his companions with a smile.

"I am back!"
